The so-called empowerment program championed by Deputy President Kindiki and his Kenya Kwanza allies is nothing but a well-orchestrated deception. Week after week, we witness the same tired spectacle—politicians doling out cash in front of cameras, slapping their party logos on every handout, and calling it economic transformation. But behind the fanfare lies an uncomfortable truth: these are nothing more than desperate vote-buying schemes disguised as development initiatives.

Where is the sustainability? Where are the real jobs? The factories? The industries? The opportunities that don’t disappear the moment the cameras stop rolling? Instead, we get temporary handouts that vanish into thin air while the cost of living keeps rising, wages keep shrinking, and millions of young people remain trapped in unemployment.

This government banned harambees, yet its own leaders are now the biggest fundraisers—operating without transparency, without accountability, and without shame. They parade their generosity while workers suffer under punitive taxes, businesses struggle in a dying manufacturing sector, and farmers watch helplessly as agriculture stagnates.

The youth have seen through this charade. The protests, the outrage, the rejection of empty promises—these are not the actions of a "hijacked" movement, as some claim, but the justified fury of a generation tired of being lied to. Empowerment isn’t about staged photo ops with sacks of cash. It’s about real, lasting change—jobs that pay fair wages, industries that thrive, and leaders who serve the people instead of their own interests.

Until then, these so-called empowerment programs will remain exactly what they are: a sham. A distraction. A political sideshow designed to mask failure. Kenyans deserve better. We demand better. And we will not be fooled. #communitydevelopment #affordablerentals #alex ‪@MEMBAFLIX‬
